[QUOTE="artesianspringsfarm, post: 1376316, member: 20360"] Gizmom, I have seen lots of them pulling up the roots and eating them, and the nutrition is great on them. I had read that its possible for them to cause a blockage but should have known that if its possible, a cow will do it. As far as her being uncomfortable, I've never seen a bovine look so relieved as when I let her out of that chute. She wobbled for a few seconds and then she looked like she knew she had a new lease on life. As for me, I felt like a hero for about 30 seconds and then instantly began feeling awful for letting her suffer for that long when my gut told me something was wrong. I really am one to let things work themselves out and usually believe they actually work out better that way but I hate that sense of guilt when something that has been given to me to steward is suffering because of my poor husbandry. I'd like to say it wont ever happen again, but I'm sure it will. That being said, if I see one like her again, I will know. [/QUOTE]
